1 edit | AOL? I can proudly say that I have never used their service. Even when I used dialup, before getting 5mbs cable speeds in 1997, I used EROLS for only a few dollar a month. I would have never even considered using AOL.
I certainly received enough of their crappy CDs. I probably could fill a 13 gallon trash can with the huge number of AOL CDs i threw away.

I gave away alot of copies of Hugo House of Horror on those AOL disks.
Too bad they dont give out flash drives today. | |

1 edit | Re: AOL? WOW! I just looked on the AOL site. They charge between $10 a month and $26 a month for dial up. And the $26 a month gives you Mcafee and Up to $10,000 identity theft insurance coverage and
Up to $1,000 PC Hardware insurance coverage.
What a rip off!
Then they have backup, dial up access.
No thanks, I use a cellular broadband modem for backup and get 1 to 3mbs download speeds.
I'd rather have no service than even consider using dial up. Not that I have a modem in any of my desktops. I don't even think my laptops have a modem, well I think my oldest one might. | |

They were my first on-line experience in the very early '90's! I had a (very) expensive DEC 386 PC running Windows 3.1, a "blazingly fast" US Robotics 14400 modem, and a 14" (color!) CRT.
Got very frustrated early on with problems dialing-in during peak times, (hello OptimumOnline?!) and switched to ATT WorldNet a few years later. (with a big speed increase to 33.6!)
The early, simple years. Still pretty amazed with FTTH and my FIOS's speed. We've come a long way. (too bad we're no longer the cutting edge)

That said, once AOL gives up being an ISP altogether (sells their bialup customers to Earthlink) I think they may have something with their backbone network and content. Engadget, TUAW, etc. are all AOL brands. | |
|
| | Hilarious I think it is hilarious how some bubble head at Time Warner who obviously knew nothing about the internet (is it like a fishing net or a hair net oooh the internet) bought AOL at it's absolute peak in price. Why would a consumer continue to pay 25 bucks for dialup as broadband was being rolled out left and right in every major metro at not much more in price and now all over the place. It did not take a genius to see that cable would win based on $ to performance.

I've said it again and again: it's not about what you can do; it's about who you know. This especially applies at the executive level. As long as those who hire someone see an increase in the price of the stocks they hold, they're happy. So what if the company burns to the ground. By then, they're cashed out and on to the next venture. Sure, the employees get screwed, but that doesn't matter. After all, they're disposable, and, since they don't come to the shareholders' cocktail parties, they're also invisible, just liabilities on a balance sheet. | |

Jacksonville, FL | Ho Hum Slow news day. AOL lays off a few and the rants begin.
AOL-TW was hindered by a consent decree with DOJ as terms of their merger. That decree forbid them from supplying voice or live TV content via their AOL client.
AOL-TW was also hindered by the "last mile" problem that faced all ISP transitions to broadband. The DOJ order forbid them from creating their own last mile due to very intense lobbying from Telecom USA.
Hubris also got in the way internally at AOL-TW, as the AOL management attempted and ultimately failed at running TW. An example was the attempt to move TW Corporate from Exchange to AOL Mail.
AOL was the necessary component to get Apple Pie USA connected and transitioned to the internet. While most considered them an ISP, they were really a content delivery system that used dial up. | |

What they failed to do (and I'll say thank goodness they never did) was leverage Time-Warner cable and force their customers to migrate to AOL. I know when I had Time-Warner I was scared they do just that. And since I had no alternative I would've just had to swallow it. | |

At the time I was doing computer work for a friend and had worked on a few client's computers with AOL installed. On a couple of occasions we ended up having to format and re-install Windows to get rid of AOL. I absolutely wanted no part of any ISP that forced me to install software just to get online. At that time I would have had no choice since the phone lines barely supported 28.8 dialup and DSL was not even available where I lived.
Thankfully I now have Verizon FIOS which gives me some of the fastest residential internet available in the country and I don't have to have any cumbersome software installed on my computers.
I always wondered how long AOL could keep up mailing all those "free" CD's in fancy metal boxes and sticking them in just about every magazine I bought. No wonder they had to charge the prices they did for their dial up service. | |

| America Off Line I see quite a few in here saying AOL had/has great service lol
Explain why for years it was known as America Off Line.
I did tech support for several large gaming sites (a few are still out there but have merged into one) If a problem came in and their service provider happened to be AOL, both these company's had separate sheets just for AOL users, to announce the issue with AOL and our gaming sites.
But that is history now. I will admit they are great at babying their clients to make any and everything so easy. (with all the software they shoved down their throats). But hey...people loved it.
Oh well enough said...I hope they sink completely some day!
(of course I'm proud to say I never nor would have even thought of using them as an ISP...you got to be kidding lol)

1 edit | I had AOL before it was AOL...before the Internet was common Hate to admit that I can not remember the name, but I had them back when it was actually an on-line service promoted by Tandy (Radio Shack), and was the direct fore-runner to what became AOL. This is back when Compuserve was king, and AOL became a very decent (if distant second) challenger, at a tastier price. I remember being on AOL when they began featuring forays into this thing called the "World Wide Web"...and something called a "browser"...(not IE!)...thinking "If I could only get a 14,400 baud modem!"
At any rate, at one time, not only was AOL a decent enough service, it really was one of the more innovative as well. Obviously AOL became irrelavant years ago now, but there was a time...

1 edit | Bulk. I once ordered 300 cd's from aol. They sent them & they arrived within a week. Used a gutter nail to nail bout 100 of them to the wall (down the middle in the spindle hole) for fun, from time to time someone came to me with an AOL problem & i fixed it using that stack. Tossed it in the recycle bin about 2 years ago.
I had slim flexible video game style & regular jewel cases from kmart, mail & target, paper cases, partial paper cases..... They really went berserk with the packaging & sheer number of discs sent out.
